Whenever I see photos of your living room I always want to curl up in that chair and read a book. Your house looks so cozy.

(and I thought of you and of Sophie today - another blogger posted a video about a big church in Colorado who gave a huge dance for the differently-abled people in their community. They said they wanted people who had been marginalized by society to know the feeling of dressing up and going to prom. It looked marvelous, complete with red carpet and photographers snapping photos as everyone was delivered to the dance. There was no separation - the church members danced, the guests danced, wheelchairs or no, they ate dinner together at beautiful tables set with fine china, and they all looked like they had a terrific time. It reminded me of your post the other day about the blessing people would receive if that wall of separation was allowed to come down. Let me know if you'd like the link and I'll send it to you.

I hope you light up that sparkle suit, fire up that jet pack that I suggest you wear, and explode through the ceiling of the room, raining just a bit of debris upon their illustrious heads. (advice to me before giving a presentation about cannabis medicine to a room full of neurologists)

Quotes to Live By

"I pray that I ever be weavingAn intellectual tune,But weaving it out of threadsFrom the distaff of the moon.

Wisdom and dreams are one,For dreams are the flowers ablow,And Wisdom the fruit of the garden:God planted him long ago."
